How Purdue alums fared in the NBA this season

As you watch the NBA playoffs in the coming weeks, you won't see any of the three Boilermaker alums currently playing at the game's highest level.

Carl Landry, E'Twaun Moore and Rob Hummel all wrapped up their seasons last week (or, in the case of Landry, more than a month ago due to injury). Here's a recap of how their season's went and what could await them next season.

One year after playing 81 games, the first season of Landry's second stint in Sacramento was derailed by a series of injuries. First there was a hip flexor tear during training camp that delayed the start of his season. After returning, he suffered a torn medial meniscus in his right knee and underwent season-ending surgery in March. All of that led to the first season of Landry's career in which he did not average at least 8.1 points or 4.6 rebounds (he had averaged double-figure scoring in four straight seasons). The Kings missed his presence off the bench and finished 28-54.

Moore started just three games but remained a regular member of the Magic rotation. He could not prevent Orlando from finishing last in the Southeast Division, whose other four teams all made the playoffs. Moore shot by far the best percentage of his career and averaged twice as many assists as turnovers for the first time.

After spending his first professional season in Spain, Hummel made the Timberwolves our of training camp and stayed in the NBA all season. (Minnesota finished third in the Northwest Division at 40-42, which would have been good enough for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.) Hummel's playing time and production spiked in April, where he averaged 22.2 minutes along with 5.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists. He shot the ball better after the All-Star break, both overall (40.2 pct to 35.6) and from 3-point range (43.9 pct to 23.9). Hummel just missed a double-double (10 points, 9 rebounds) after starting and playing 32 minutes in the season finale vs. Utah.

Next season: Hummel is a restricted free agent, meaning the Timberwolves have first right of refusal to match an offer sheet from another team.
